Out of the sample Brien maple products the one that I was looking forward to the most was the maple sugar. I had never used maple sugar but I had been wanting to for a while. I had also found the the perfect recipe to try the maple sugar out with on all recipes ; maple snickerdoodles . These maple snickerdoodles are pretty much just snickerdoodles that use maple syrup in the cookie dough for flavour and they are rolled in a maple sugar coating. Like most cookies the maple snickerdoodles were really easy to make, taking almost no time at all and they turned out great! They were nice and crispy on the edges and soft on the inside but they were full of amazing maple flavour all the way through. What a great way to satisfy a maple craving! Luckily I still have some more maple sugar to enjoy and experiment with.

Maple Snickerdoodles

ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 cup butter (room temperature)

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup white sugar

1/4 cup maple sugar

directions

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon in a bowl.

Cream the butter and sugar in another bowl.

Beat the egg and maple syrup into the butter and sugar.

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.

Mix the white sugar and maple sugar in a small bowl.

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll the balls in the sugar mixture.

Place the balls on a baking sheet.

Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until golden brown and cracked on top, about 8-10 minutes.

I was totally thinking of doing something similar last week — maybe making maple buttercream snickerdoodles, — but I decided to save that experiment for a later date and just make traditional snickerdoodles.

I've always wanted to make those cookies but could never get ahold of maple sugar. They look delicious! Your gingerbread pancakes and eggplant panini look yummy too- I just bought an eggplant and don't have a plan for it!

man, Kevin... I'm known far and wide for my Heatherdoodles [oh yes, you read that right ;)]... but combine those with my passion for good maple syrup... you hit the nail on the head! I'm sure to make these soon. Kevindoodles??

I want to eat at your house. Can you adopt me? And guess what you get a bonus, me and three others, my children, they don't eat much and they aren't picky at all. Please? I'm a great cleaner, just think no dishes, no more!?~ingrid

Snickerdoodle cookies are a staple in my house. I never thought about the idea of using maple syrup in them. Are they chewy? I've found there's a fine line with the baking time with this type of cookie. One extra minute and they get hard. Is that the case with you?

Culinary Cory: Yep, baking cookies is a challenge. You have to pull them out at just the right time even if they do not seem as if they are quite done yet as they can continue to bake a bit with the residual heat. It is a skill that I need more practice at.

The first tray came out nice and soft and chewy so I left the second tray in a bit longer and they came out just crispy on the edges but they were still nice and soft and chewy on the inside.

Question: do you cream ALL of the sugar with the butter or is that amount including some reserved to roll the cookies in? How much of each sugar do you cream with the butter? I'm so not a baker so I need help with this part!
